Hi fellow pilgrims,
My DH (59 yo) and I (58 yo)hope to walk the El Camino Frances in the coming year. In 2012, we walked from Sarria to Santiago and enjoyed it tremendously. However during that walk, I developed a Morton's neuroma in my left foot, which is scaring of a nerve between the toes. Since then, I have some issues walking when the nerve gets irritated. I would love to hear about pilgrims who have chronic foot problems and how they managed.
My husband would like to start walking from SJPP. I'm concerned about that stage since it seems one of the most difficult ones. If my foot were to become too painful to walk 10-15 Km/day, I would like to find out if it's possible for me to walk part of the day, then take a taxi or a bus to a town ahead where we'll spend the night. Where would I find information about alternative transportation? I might also consider taxing my pack to reduce the weight on my foot. Is there taxi service in most of the towns?
Thanks in advance for your help.
